CAMCAMP Wireless Security Camera System Outdoor with 10.1" LCD Monitor, 4Pc 2K Dual Lens PTZ Security Cameras, 10X Zoom, Color Night Vision,Auto Tracking,2-Way Audio,10CH Expandable NVR, 500GB HDD

I have always been impressed with the Camcamp products. Whenever I need a camera for security or I’m helping out another friend hook up cameras, I go to Camcamp. This time we went with the 5MP Wireless Security Camera System. As usual the setup was straightforward right out of the box. The cameras paired easily with the monitor, and I had everything running within an hour. The video quality is crisp during the day, and what I also like is night vision is clear with good color detail. I also like that the system has a 10x zoom and motion detection that actually works without too many false alerts. I like having options like the expandable hard drive. I prefer storing footage locally rather than paying for cloud storage. Another big one for me is the wireless signal has been reliable for me, which has been an issue with some other makers that I’ve used in the past. In general this can be tricking depending not only distance but on material it’s passing through. Overall, this system offers a lot for the price and I think they are building a solid brand that gives me peace of mind both with my data being safe as well as knowing my home is covered indoors and outdoors without a complicated setup or monthly fees.

The SC37 has a tablet-like control screen that connects wirelessly to its four camera units. You can set each camera to record when motion is detected, on a schedule, or full time (24x7). If you choose to record all four cameras full time, the 500GB hard drive will hold enough to last 30 days before it starts replacing older recordings. The recordings are organized in a calendar. Each time a camera detects motion the "event" will be added to the calendar as an orange block. To play back recordings you can select an orange block "event" or choose a date/time on the calendar. Each camera unit actually has two separate cameras, (wide and telephoto) that it switches between seamlessly. A “wide” angle with no zoom is generally used unless you’re monitoring a more distant area. If you zoom in half way, objects will be 3X as large and it will automatically switch to the "telephoto" camera for more clarity. When you zoom in all the way, the telephoto camera along with digital zoom will be used. This fully enlarges an area 20% the size of the un-zoomed wide view and has almost the same clarity; (see my video). Having two lower resolution cameras in one camera unit is an alternative to using a single 4K camera because 4K storage requirements are much greater. It also has other unique advanced features that many security camera systems don't have: -portable 10" bright IPS screen that can show all camera feeds simultaneously, (up to 10 if you add more cameras) -an HDMI plug so you can mirror what is on the control tablet to a TV screen -cameras analyze motion and only detect humans standing upright. This prevents unwanted motion detection of other things like wavy trees and small animals (most of the time). -a tracking option for the cameras to "follow a person around" when recording, (and cameras can rotate almost 360°) -an option to select areas that you don't want to be triggered by motion, (like your neighbor's driveway) -the 6 LED's which produce bright light to startle an intruder or provide natural light at night also double as the infrared LED's for B&W night vision. The infrared night vision LED's have a dim red glow at night and an intruder may notice the camera. -a fast processor that allows you to move between screens very quickly -an option to play an alert sound on the control tablet when motion is detected on any camera, even if the control tablet's screen and sound are turned off; (this is my favorite option called "Base Synchronization Alarm"). A few considerations are: -plugging each camera into a power outlet (or running a wire for power) may require more effort to install than systems with solar panels. The extra effort was well worth it for me so I wouldn’t have to worry about mounting solar panels in enough light, several overcast days, possibly replacing rechargeable batteries at some point, or having solar panels visible on the side of the house. -the control tablet is not a touch screen and requires using the mouse but it works well because there are so many options to click on. -the lag of video from the cameras can be several seconds because it must compress the video -sound is adequate but voices can not be understood as well on the tablet as when exported to a computer using a TF card -it takes a while to learn where the advanced options are and how they work Other technical details: The resolution of the control tablet screen and HDMI TV feed is 1280x1024, heavily compressed by h.265, and stretched to 16:9. This is very unconventional but still good displayed full screen on the small tablet or in several small windows on a TV. The MP4 files you can export to a TF card unfortunately appear to simply be upscaled to 1920x1080. I have my system set up to record full time ("continuously") at night and only the 6 dim red infrared LED's on the cameras are illuminated. I don’t use the flashing spotlight alert or scary alarm alert if motion is detected and on the control tablet I have the screen and sound turned off. When motion is detected on any camera, the control tablet will sound an alert. I can then turn on the tablet screen, see all of the camera feeds, and go to the calendar to playback the "event" clips from all of the cameras simultaneously. Overall it's an excellent camera system to watch live feeds, be alerted, ward off intruders, efficiently record, and quickly locate recordings.

I’ve been using the Camcamp Home Security Camera System Wireless with Monitor for a while now, and I’m genuinely impressed with how much value it offers. The zoom and dual-lens setup make the image quality sharp and clear, both during the day and at night. The night vision in particular is surprisingly bright and detailed, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. Setting everything up was much easier than I expected. The system connects smoothly, and having an expandable 10-channel 4K NVR means I can add more cameras later without needing a whole new setup. Motion detection works reliably without being overly sensitive, and I like that I can use it both indoors and outdoors. Another thing I really appreciate is how easy the CloudEye 365 app is to use. The interface is simple and intuitive, so checking live video or reviewing motion alerts takes just a few seconds. The notifications come through instantly and clearly, without being overwhelming. I love that I can control the cameras, zoom in, or adjust settings right from my phone. It makes the whole system feel effortless and keeps me connected to my home no matter where I am. Overall, this has been an excellent upgrade for my home. If you’re looking for a dependable, easy-to-use security camera system with great picture quality, this one is absolutely worth it.

I loved these at first. It wasn’t until I attempted to add the cameras to the cloudeye365 app that these cameras became utterly useless. I connected all 4 devices to the cloud eye 365 app and they were all working perfectly on my phone. I connected all 4 devices to the monitor that came with the cameras, and all 4 devices connected and worked perfectly. Finally, I went back into my app to refresh the cameras to make sure they were all live and synched up between the app and the monitor, and they were all disconnected on the monitor. So I redid everything. They were all perfect on my monitor, BUT DISCONNECTED ON THE APP. So I tested it again. Bottom line, they ONLY work on one. Not both. “Customer service” in the app says 24/7. Cool. You can even just click to call! Awesome! But clicking that button is just a nothing number that tells you to call 411. The live chat isn’t live. The email support so far has been zero replies. So…. I’m very unhappy with these.

I needed an upgrade for my parents, so rotation feature was a must. I liked it has a big hard drive so I dont have to pay monthly for a cloud storage. Was easy to set up (cameras already paired to the screen). All cameras can be seen on the tablet (which is not touch screen by the way), i may even add a few more later. Its cool that cameras are smart and can analyze if the movement is by a person (not a tree etc). You can talk through them (especially good when somebody is on the backyard and forgot the phone inside). All video quality is really good even at zoom in or night. The spot light is pretty cool as well. And motion alert sound on the tablet even when the sound is off is a smart function
